Hi Dana, glad you found this :) And yes, the OJ in the couscous is fantastic and goes so well with the olives. I add the orange zest too for extra orange flavor.

Hi Jeff, I’ve done a little research on the topic of cooking acidic foods in cast iron, and it seems like the consensus is that if your pan is well seasoned, you should be ok. I’ve never had a problem with my pan…but use your own judgement.

I was surprised with the use of cast iron for this dish. I was always told to avoid using highly acidic ingredients when cooking with cast iron as it will strip the seasoning and leach iron into the food, especially when cooking for long periods of time.
